Ingredients

  • 2 medium cloves of garlic
  • Two 15 ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/3 cup [80 g] fresh lemon juice (about 2 to 3 lemons)
  • 1/3 cup [85 g] nut or seed butter
  • 1/3 cup [80 g] cold water
  • Salt to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
  • Paprika or za’atar* for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the garlic in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until it is chopped finely.
  2. Add the chickpeas, lemon, and nut/seed butter and blend until it completely combines.
  3. Add the water gradually (start with about half, and add the rest gradually). Different nut butters require slightly different amounts of water. The hummus should be creamy, not stodgy or clumpy. But it should not be runny.
  4. Taste, add salt to taste, and blend.
  5. Spread thinly on a deep plate or shallow bowl. Dip the spoon across the surface to make swirls or dimples. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with spices.

Notes

* Most za’atar has sesame in it, so be cautious if you’re skipping the tahini because of an allergy! Paprika works just great too.
